2015 Ford Transit Courier 1.5L Diesel · LF15 ABU

This 2015 Ford Transit Courier presents an overall roadworthiness status that reflects a generally maintained working vehicle, though the maintenance trend shows recurring minor neglect regarding consumables rather than structural failure. In the most recent test on 2026-03-23 at 124,900 miles, the vehicle passed with advisories noting a slightly damaged nearside rear tyre, an engine oil leak, and both offside front tyres worn close to the legal limit. This pattern of tyre neglect mirrors previous test cycles, indicating that past keepers routinely run rubber down to the limit before replacement. Looking at the mileage accumulation, the vehicle covered roughly 11,355 miles per year across its eleven-year lifespan, which aligns closely with typical commercial use. The pace of mileage accumulation remains steady, jumping from 72,791 miles in January 2018 to 88,126 miles by January 2019, and then progressing incrementally through the COVID-19 pandemic years with modest annual increases such as the 5,387 miles added between January 2020 and February 2021. A larger jump occurs between March 2024 and March 2025, where the odometer increased by roughly 4,487 miles, followed by a heavier use period adding 6,804 miles leading up to the March 2026 test. A physical inspection must prioritize several recurring mechanical themes highlighted throughout the history. The engine oil leak appears consistently across multiple years, noted as non-excessive in 2020, 2022, and 2026, but flagged as an excessive leak requiring a failure in February 2013 before presumably receiving remedial work. Prospective buyers should check the underside for active engine weeping and verify if the source is a crankshaft seal or sump gasket. Furthermore, both rear coil springs accumulated corrosion advisories across the 2022 and 2023 tests, suggesting they may have been replaced or require close scrutiny for structural degradation. Finally, check the front brake discs, which were noted as pitted or scored back in February 2011, alongside checking the suspension geometry given the history of distorted wheels and tyre shoulder wear.
